Comments

This sequence, requested in A095114, is a companion to A109512.
Every positive integer is either of the form a(n)+n-1 (A109512) or of the form a(n+1)-a(n)+n (A224731), but not both.

It is understood that a(n) is taken to be the smallest number >= a(n-1) which is compatible with the description.
In other words, this is the lexicographically earliest nondecreasing sequence of positive numbers which is equal to its RUNS transform. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 07 2018
Also called Silverman's sequence.
Vardi gives several identities satisfied by A001463 and this sequence.
We can interpret this sequence as a triangle: start with 1; 2,2; 3,3; and proceed by letting the row sum of row m-1 be the number of elements of row m. The partial sums of the row sums give 1, 5, 11, 38, 272, ... Conjecture: this proceeds as Lionel Levine's sequence A014644. See also A113676. - Floor van Lamoen, Nov 06 2005
A Golomb-type sequence, that is, one with the property of being a sequence of run length of itself, can be built over any sequence with distinct terms by repeating each term a corresponding number of times, in the same manner as a(n) is built over natural numbers. See cross-references for more examples. - Ivan Neretin, Mar 29 2015
From Amiram Eldar, Jun 19 2021: (Start)
Named after the American mathematician Solomon Wolf Golomb (1932-2016).
Guy (2004) called it "Golomb's self-histogramming sequence", while in previous editions of his book (1981 and 1994) he called it "Silverman's sequence" after David Silverman. (End)
a(n) is also the number of numbers that occur n times. - Leo Crabbe, Feb 15 2025

Examples

			a(1) = 1, so 1 only appears once. The next term is therefore 2, which means 2 appears twice and so a(3) is also 2 but a(4) must be 3. And so on.

Comments

The first run of length n in A001462 begins with A095114(n), i.e., A001462(a(n)) = A095114(n).
a(n) = A095114(A095114(n)).

Examples

			Since Golomb's sequence starts 1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,... the first run of length three starts at position 6, so a(3) = 6.
